    One thing to remember, even after all these years, is most of the German army was drafted. And, most German soldiers were not Nazis. Most just wanted the war to end so they could simply go home.

    The photo used at 2:42 and 3:17 was not the execution of Blackjack Ketchum. It's a photo taken in a Washington DC military installation near the Capitol Building just before the execution by hanging of the other conspirators who plotted with John Wilkes Booth to assassinate Abraham Lincoln in 1865. They were hung in a traditional way, seated in chairs, hooded, and then a single platform holding them up was released so they'd all drop simultaneously. I read though that at least one of the conspirators took over five minutes to die after the drop. You can see the line of Union Army soldiers along the top of the wall. FYI: I've read that physiologists say the guillotine is the most humane method of execution. Quick and painless, they say.

    The executioner still causes the death. If one, say creates a booby trap, and someone is killed by it. The creator of the trap still causes the death even though he might not be near it.

    If a society wants to retain the death penalty maybe the executioner should be chosen at random from that society, similar to jury service. Any one person only ever conducting one execution. Sounds fare to me. As Albert Pierrepoint said in an interview after his retirement, “The police, the judiciary and the public all stepped back and left it up to me”. Another comment I heard from an interview with a prison chaplain was how the process of execution left all involved feeling “sullied”.
